If you were to sign up for a fiber of the month, which fiber would you choose and why?
I want to start experimenting with SEX but I don't know where to start. I have tried a couple of overdyes and silks, but no favourites yet. Do you have any?
What I would see as a great idea may not appeal to everyone, but here it goes:
I'd like fiber of the month club to send me several different ones, like a silk, a silk blend, a cotton, a metallic, a wool.... All in the same color family
I think that depends on the type of stitching one likes to do. I'm a frugal free style, chunky/funky embroiderer. Although I love the weeks overdye, I think it's a bit pricey for the amount of thread I might need for a project. Ginny Thompson flower thread gives a lot of bang for the buck so I wouldn't mind having all the colo(u)rs. I love Needle Necessities variegated threads but doubt if I would want the whole line.
I'd like to have a fiber collection made up of interchangeable threads - for instance: One month a variety of matte threads, comparable in thickness to flower thread. Month two - a collection of shiny threads similiar to ribbon floss. Month three - metallics that could be substituted for #8 Balger. And so on
I don't have the time to keep up with all the fibers being introduced. It would be nice to have some help in understanding what's available and the characteristics of the threads - washable? fuzzy? smooth? stranded? braided? divisible? etc
